Experiential Therapy in Douglas County, CO

When working with clients, I invite them into their own personal healing space where anything is possible. Finding the freedom to explore in a safe space with a counselor who is dedicated to building a strong therapeutic relationship, helps create the necessary ingredients to healing. I also, understand, that people are multifaceted as is the world we live which is why I bring a multicultural and social justice perspective into the work. My commitment to each client is evident through the journey we take together. For athletes wanting performance improvement, my approach combines evidence based work and the somatic perspective.

Have you tried therapy before and felt misunderstood or unsupported? Unfortunately this is a common experience, especially if you're neurodivergent. For a long time developmental conditions like ADHD and autism have been viewed as problems to be solved and many therapists have been insensitive to the unique needs and experiences of people with these conditions. I believe that neurodivergent people deserve the same quality of care as neurotypical folks, and I strive to provide sensitive, individualized, and neurodivergent-affirming care to my clients.

Life is a series of adjustments, I like to think of myself not only as a counselor but also an adjustment specialist. I view my clients as extraordinary individuals seeking new ways of doing life differently. Together, we can utilize therapeutic tools to help you adjust to your new, different, or difficult challenges.

Dalliance views sexuality as being an inherent, essential and beneficial dimension of being human and values the connection between vulnerable conversation and physical exploration. We believe our role as clinicians and healers is to help clients explore healthy sexual attitudes and values to create lives full of connection and pleasure. Our clinicians challenge society’s current ideas of what sex is and help individuals and relationships explore what works for them and create their own sexual confidence and lifestyle. We value sexual health esteem, promote healing conversation and encourage healthier intimacy.

Are you dealing with the lingering effects of a difficult childhood, often marked by challenging and emotionally volatile relationships with your parents? You might find yourself in pain and confusion, struggling with feelings of never being good enough, constantly striving for perfection, or avoiding conflict at all costs. These experiences may leave you feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, and always walking on eggshells. Burdened with unmet emotional needs, people-pleasing tendencies, destructive communication patterns, and a lack of healthy boundaries, it can be hard to create healthier connections with yourself and others.

Struggling to cope in our present world, with its broken systems, inequalities, and constancy of “faster” and “more,” does not make you crazy, broken, or wrong. It is an appropriate response to systems entirely out of balance. It does, however, mean that therapeutic support can be vital to personal well-being. I am passionate about supporting individuals in navigating these broken systems in their most authentic and meaningful approaches.

We help children, teens, and Perinatal moms overcome mental health struggles and equip parents with tools to better understand and connect with their children. When children are provided quality mental health care, families live more empowered lives together.

We all need help from others from time to time as we go through difficult or challenging seasons in our lives. My personal journey along with my training and experience has enabled me to facilitate that journey with clients.

I also offer faith-based Christian counseling. We want our clientele to have a comfortable, curated experience, so we offer self-scheduling appointment service through your personal client portal.
